Package: grub-common Version: 1.96+20090721-2 Severity: grave Both packages provide /usr/bin/grub-fstest and /usr/share/man/man1/grub-fstest.1.gz. This is a reason to mark it as conflict. If not then please remove it from one package. The second solutions seems to be more correct as grub-pc depends on grub-common. If it is moved to grub-common then please mark grub-pc <= 1.96+200907... as conflicts and replaces in grub-common.
